Compact generation of robust Airy beam pattern with spatial coherence engineering

Abstract

We present a class of partially coherent light sources having Airy-type amplitude and Airy-correlated spatial coherence. We show that the light beam generated by such sources can preserve the Airy beam pattern well during its propagation from source to far field. We demonstrate the robustness of the Airy beam pattern by introducing a hard aperture to largely block the beam source. We find that the coherence-induced Airy beam pattern can still be well reconstructed during propagation. We successfully synthesize such partially coherent source using the principle of complex random modes decomposition by using a single phase-only spatial light modulator. The proposed robust Airy beam pattern may find applications in information transmission through complex media.
